As i mentioned, i have done several misc repairs over the course of the last several months, but the loss of power over a period of time was the initial qlue. I did get a scan to determine that the TB was bad (had already removed a cleaned orginial TB). At that time i also got a fault cat conv code. I tried everything possible to avoid replacing the cat, but at the end i believe all the other work was needed, but I feel the block converter was the main issue. I did get a CEL due to the TB, but once replaced i did not get a CEL due just to the cat conv.
At the end i could not even get the boost into the yellow forget about red.
Now that it is replace i had forgotten how much power this car has. I have also only been able to get 27-28 mpg on the highway. I hope this will increase my mpg by several digits.
FYI, 2000 aero, auto, 163K miles, mobile 1 for last 100k, changed every 5k miles.
The only thing left is the head gasket, which i feel failed early because of the fact that i drove the car with a block converter.
